[BUG - Scheduled Defrag]

hey, im a first time user of Defraggler, but not new to your other products

anyways, I try to set a scheduled defrag & it will not let me

 

"Problem - Defraggler was unable to change the options"

 

I dunno why this is, im an advanced windows user

Yes, I noticed the message when trying to use the scheduler. I made a comment earlier about it under the comment thread, but no one has yet to respond.

[Comments on release v1.03.093]

Thanks for new features, especially the scheduler: that will be useful to many

[but I've yet to get it to work at all under Vista...]

 

There is just one [simple?] change that I would like to see made, and that is

with respect to the "Defrag progress window that is displayed when defragging

files (as opposed to whole drives or folders). The problem with this window is

that it "locks" the GUI, such that the only thing that one can do with Defraggler

when this window is shown is to Pause or Stop the defrag. This can be frustrating

because one cannot minimise the main Defraggler window until the defragging

is over...

 

Previous versions (up until ~3 versions ago) used a simple borderless white

window for showing progress, and this did not "block" the GUI. Could we

return to that [please]?

 

In the mean time, for anyone else who finds this blocking progress window a

problem, a near workaround is to use the Action/Defrag Folder dialogue and

select the appropriate drive. This is typically a bit slower than just defragging

the files, but much quicker than a full drive defrag [i.e. including the freespace],

and one can easily minimise the Defraggler window whilst it is working, so that

you can use the PC for other stuff at the same time [and gain access to any desktop

icons that might otherwise be covered by the Defraggler main window.

 

Has anyone managed to get the Scheduler function to work under Vista ?

<Update>

Ah, yes: the scheduling does work...it runs "df.exe" (the command-line version of Defraggler)

under the scheduling service, so this is invisible (runs in the background).

Can see that it is working from Task Manager (or better: Process Explorer),

</Update>

First off, thank you for such a wonderful lightweight program like Defraggler. When I updated to the new 1.03.093 version I was eagerly anticipating the scheduler option. Unfortunately, I receive an error every time I set up a schedule. I message displayed is "Defraggler was unable to save your savings."

Thanks in advance.

[Custom File/Folder deletion not working]

Have you ticked the 'Custom files and folders' box under CCleaners advanced section (Under the cleaners Windows tab)

Thanks, JDPower. It worked exactly as you stated. I appreciate it.

[Custom File/Folder deletion not working]

This is a problem that has plagued every release of CCleaner, and has yet to be resolved. You are given the option under Advanced to have certain files/folders deleted when you do a basic cleanup. I add the folder %systemroot%\Prefetch or C:\Windows\Prefetch and it never empties the folder. Plus, I have selected other various files to delete and they are never removed per my request. Any suggestions? Thank you!
